+Cover is a program for analyzing the coverage profiles generated by
+'go test -coverprofile=cover.out'.
+
+Cover is also used by 'go test -cover' to rewrite the source code with
+annotations to track which parts of each function are executed.
+It operates on one Go source file at a time, computing approximate
+basic block information by studying the source. It is thus more portable
+than binary-rewriting coverage tools, but also a little less capable.
+For instance, it does not probe inside && and || expressions, and can
+be mildly confused by single statements with multiple function literals.
+
+When computing coverage of a package that uses cgo, the cover tool
+must be applied to the output of cgo preprocessing, not the input,
+because cover deletes comments that are significant to cgo.
+
+For usage information, please see:
+ go help testflag
+ go tool cover -help
